The God knows when to smile.

Action achieves more than words.

Oftener than not the old are uncontrollable; Their tempers make them difficult to deal with.

Since we are mortal, friendships are best kept to a moderate level, rather than sharing the very depths of our souls.

Pay special attention to their agony so I might take some pleasure.

In adverse hours the friendship of the good shines most; each prosperous day commands its friends.

If god is truly god, he is perfect, lacking nothing.
